I loved everything about painting the rocks above and below the water during my stay at Kavo Kortia. In this piece, I was trying to catch the colors of the sea just beyond the rocky pool in the foreground and the many colors of the rocks in it.

I painted this before joining my friends for a swim. I knew there were sheep in the brush up the hill from the apartment we’d rented. On this afternoon, they were guided to the bluffs over the water where they served as groundskeepers.

I enjoyed painting this little beach while in Greece. This was the spot from which my friends and I entered the calm water to swim, paddle-board and kayak. There were lovely sandy beaches nearby. Still I love the charm of this small rocky beach.

The Water Tower located in downtown Campbell gives the town an old-time charm and it was fun to sip a coffee on the sidewalk while painting it.

The viewer is on the edge with the beauty of the Pacific Ocean just beyond unstable cliffs. I’m drawn to the mix of emotions that creep up cliffside.

Each time I paint at the harbor in Princeton By The Sea it reveals a different character. On the spring morning I painted this, conditions were calm with sunshine that came and went. Here, I’ve captured the sunshine.

Garrapata is one of my favorite places to paint. This time I wanted to give attention to a small beach nestled in a cove. The tide was just right to allow a sandy patch to be seen through the water to reflect beautiful greens in the sunshine.
